GospeL Verses ~ John 1:6-18
6 - There was a man sent from God, his name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light. 9 For the true light - which gives light to all - was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, but they did not receive him. (Which is exactly how God planned it. And all nations would act the same.) 12 But to those who do receive him, and who believe upon his name, he gives the right to become children of God. 13 Who are born (again) not of blood, for it does not originate from man nor is it of the world, but it is of God. 14 And the Word (that was with God) became flesh and he dwelt among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 And John bore witness about him, crying out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has precedence over me, because he was before me.’” 16 And from his fullness - we all receive - grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the only begotten of God, the one in union with the Father, he has made him known.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 2 Corinthians 6:11-18
11 - We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. We opened our heart to you. 12 If you are restricted, it’s not by us, but within your own selves. (It makes no sense to compete with anyone but our own self. Fruit grows when we stay attached to the vine, Jn.15.) 13 In return, I speak as to dear children, expand your hearts, also. 14 Do not be joined tightly with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what oneness has light with darkness? 15 What friendship has Christ with Belial? Or of what share is there between a believer and an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore go out from among them, and be as separate from them (the world’s philosophy and views)” says the LORD, “and have nothing to do with what is unclean [akΓ‘thartos - an adjective, derived from A - not, and katharΓ³s - clean, purged – properly, not pure but mixed, a wrong mix, thus tainted] and I will welcome you. 18 I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the LORD Almighty.”
